Mr. Grieve co-founded the present day firm in 1981 as Grieve & Ruth Architects through the merging of two consulting practices. The firm was renamed Grieve Associates Architects in 1998 and restructured as a sole proprietorship under L. Duane Grieve. He manages and oversees all aspects and operations of the firm. Over the last twenty-five years, Mr. Grieve has developed a portfolio of client relationships and notable projects that have resulted in several professional, civic and architectural awards. In particular, Mr. Grieve has pursued a personal interest in the restoration of historic properties; researching and developing the specialized requirements needed to rehabilitate and preserve meaningful significant structures from the past.

For fourteen years until 1986, Mr. Grieve served as a tenured Assistant Professor at the University of Tennessee School of Architecture. He was instrumental in the development and implementation of the administration and management curriculum for professional practice. Presently he is serving as an adjunct professor teaching Professional Practice.

Having served as a Director at the National AIA Board from 1993-1996, he represented the architects from five states in the Gulf States Region. He served as National Treasurer from 1996-97. He has held many positions in The American Institute of Architects from President of his local chapter to President of AIA Tennessee as well as President of the National Architectural Foundation. He served as Trust Officer and Chair for the National AIA Trust in Washington, DC. His professional affiliation has included several architectural school accreditation reviews in Massachusetts, Texas, Alabama and Canada.

His civic commitments include his work with the Historic Zoning Commission and the Central Market Neighborhood Association. He served as chair on the Mayor's Task Force for setting guidelines and goals for the preservation of Knoxville's heritage and served on the historical alternate codes task force. He is involved with several neighborhood groups and serves on the Façade Review Board for Knoxville.
